520 _aThe potential use of corn smut, the semi-fleshy galls on diseased maize plants due to parasitic fungal (Ustilago maydis) action, is reviewed. Factors considered are: the extent of fungal infection; control, and eradication of corn smut with systemic fungicides; evolution of corn smut as a food; current processing and food use practices for corn smut in Mexico; research needed for exploiting corn smut as a food source; growth characteristics of Ustilago maydis in laboratory cultures; and fermentation studies on Ustilago maydis. It is concluded that naturally-occurring corn smut galls are of little importance as a wide-based food source for humans. While
